Studies and Results
- Clinical trials
- For the benefit assessment, the pharmaceutical manufacturer presents the results from the completed, double-blind, multicentre, randomised, controlled trial JUPITER-02 comparing toripalimab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine against cisplatin in combination with gemcitabine.
Adults with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are not eligible for surgery or radiotherapy, or who have metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma; first-line treatment
- The additional benefit is not proven.
- Consequently, there are no suitable data available overall for an assessment of additional benefit.
- Conclusion
- The data presented from the JUPITER-02 study are not suitable for assessing additional benefit, as the comparator therapy does not correspond to the appropriate comparator therapy specified for this resolution.
- An additional benefit of toripalimab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma in adults who are not candidates for surgery or radiotherapy, or who have metastatic disease, is not proven.
